At the same time, on the small dirt slope next to the Yin Hotel, officers and men who were always keeping an eye on the situation were discussing the current situation.

"Inexplicable, this posture ......"

"Where did the anti-chemical soldiers come from? What's going wrong again? ”

"It's the hospital's car and Yi Anjun, they don't want to take the opportunity to take the people from the investigation team away justifiably, right?"

The second lieutenant who led the team slowly lowered the binoculars and struggled for a few seconds before saying, "Watch and see for a while." ”

In the Yin Hotel, the soldiers of the Yi'an Army had already controlled the inside and outside passages and gates, and the doctors were discussing with the officers how to sanitize them.

The scene was organized by them, and most of them looked like they were facing a great enemy, as if if they would let their guard down and cause a terrible plague to spread.

The lieutenant of the chemical defense team led by him went straight to Luo Fu, clasped his fists and saluted him, and then said solemnly: "Your party can't stay here anymore, it's too dangerous, it's best to go to the hospital on the side to observe for a few days, and if there is anything abnormal, it is better to diagnose and treat it as soon as possible." ”

Luo Fu was noncommittal, but asked bluntly: "When did you receive the order?" ”

The respectful lieutenant immediately replied: "Just now, only two quarters of an hour, it was said that there was a cook here who had a sudden high fever, and it was found to be the plague, so he sent us to help immediately." ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Luo Fu didn't say much, but said calmly: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Your group should be disinfected first, and then take the bus to the medical center."

"Disinfection?"

"Yes, it is not clear whether any of your group has any germs on their clothes, shoes, hands, and hair, so they have to be sanitized before they can go out."

What kind of calculation is this? It's like the real thing.

Now some of the officials of the investigation team are already a little panicked, it is the devil who once ravaged the Eurasian continent, killing almost a third of Europeans in the Middle Ages.

Even though medicine has made great strides today, the mortality rate from plague is still not low.

Everything that comes into contact needs to be disinfected, including clothing, bedding, cutlery, ...... Even every corner of the room can't be missed.

In the meeting room on the second floor, when several soldiers wearing rubber gas cloaks and gas masks pushed the door in, the eyes of the seven or eight officials inside fell on them.

To be fair, such attire is terrifying, especially when associated with the horror of the plague.

"We all have to get out? Look at this posture to sanitize the whole room. ”

"Take everything and keep it with you, never leave it." Luo Fu turned around and asked.

Someone took out a few files from the large cabinet in the corner, and these document bags made of waterproof thick kraft paper contained the results of the investigation that could determine the fate of hundreds of officials in Fuzhou.

Then, one by one, everyone walked out of the living room.

Luo Fu had been observing intentionally or unintentionally, and sure enough, as soon as they went out, the eyes of someone outside fell on the bags of files.

That look is definitely called "light in the eyes".

The officers of the investigation team, who were already suspicious, suddenly realized that this was most likely a hoax, but they really couldn't debunk the lie at the moment.

The anti-chemical soldiers of the Yi'an Army have set up a tent in the backyard of the Yin Hotel - very simply, a thin steel pipe bracket covered with a layer of plastic sheeting.

"If you take off your coat and go in, you will be sprayed with disinfectant if you have a water hose inside. Be careful, the smell is a bit pungent, and you have to close your eyes, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to splash in your eyes. ”

"Huh? Go in together? Luo Fu said lightly.

A clerk in the household house of Houguan County replied solemnly: "That's natural, it's not disinfected outside, isn't it contaminated again when it comes out?" You and your group put things outside, and people go in. ”

Oh, let's finally reveal the purpose.

"Nonsense! Isn't it possible that you may have been contaminated with germs? ”

"Uh......"

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Luo Fu sneered: "Which one do you want to do?" ”

At this time, the household clerk seemed to have finally figured out the wording, and said, "We... We will definitely make sure that it is error-free. After that, they will stay away from them to prevent indirect contamination. ”

Seeing that Luo Fu and the others were unmoved, he arched his hand and urged: "Please also ask Luo to wait for your party to cooperate, otherwise we won't be able to bear it if it causes a big disaster." ”

Heh, dare to put pressure?

What kind of sudden plague is to fool people!

Luo Fu didn't know that the "helpers" had already arrived, and he had even made a small fuss, otherwise he would definitely have a direct showdown now.

However, he still thinks that he is still alone in front of him, so he can only suppress his anger and continue to act with these officials.

It's annoying, there are so many things to worry about, and it can't be expanded, it's a chore.

"Naturally, the overall situation is the most important, after all, if the plague is raging, the local people will suffer countless hardships." Luo Fu stared at the official a few steps away, and said calmly: "But you also know what the purpose of our trip is, we must not leave the case file to investigate, so I'm sorry, we must divide into two groups." ”

Seeing that he refused to give in, the person in charge of the Yin Hotel also persuaded: "Luo Zhizhao, you still can't trust us?" Rest assured, we're here for you. ”

Just as Luo Fu was about to refuse, someone suddenly rushed in from behind.

He stepped forward quickly and whispered a few words, and the faces of several officials and persons in charge present immediately changed.

"Huh?! Here comes the army again?! ”

In just a few tens of seconds, with the noisy movement, some dark gray figures went straight through the Yin Hotel building and rushed into the backyard.

Dressed in soft hats, tweed coats, and boots, they are armed with all kinds of short guns......

Whose subordinate is this?!

No, no, what kind of force is this? The Army's uniforms don't look like this.

The Army's winter uniform coat has almost knee-length hems and is green in color; And the coats of these soldiers have a short hem and a dark gray color.

"You... How can you trespass here? What about the official? Call your officials! Some of the annoyed people in charge shouted.

"It's coming, don't shout."

The voice was so familiar that Luo Fu thought he had misheard, but what he saw with his eyes proved to be correct.

Zhou Changfeng and Shen Yu walked side by side, these two people are really amazing - the former is obviously neat and tough, but he inexplicably has a feeling of being a child; The latter is the opposite, obviously casual in its gestures, but it seems to be very formal.

"I heard that there was a sudden case of plague in the Yin Hotel, and this is too big a problem." Smiling Zhou Changfeng glanced around the backyard, "If something happens to someone from the investigation team, then it's a big deal." ”

"Dare to ask you how many ...... are"

Shen Yu looked the household clerk up and down, and replied casually: "The imperial court is worried that they are alone, so they sent us over to assist one or two. ”

Seeing this, Luo Fu, who was full of surprise, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

The tight string in his heart finally loosened - the "reinforcements" came in time!

"The before and after of the Changle Shipyard case, the results of the interrogation, the details of the evidence, and the details of the money are all here." He took the file bag from the other two and handed it to Zhou Changfeng.

The latter stretched out his hands to take it, nodded lightly, and said seriously: "I have been busy for more than a month, I have worked hard for you, I will invite you to dinner tonight and have a good rest." ”

When the court officials came to the place to do business, don't look at the scenery on the surface, the local officials can be called the front and back of the saddle, lest the hospitality be inadequate, but in fact, the obstacles they have received are not small, and it is almost impossible to have a smooth ride.

If people catch grasshoppers, grasshoppers will struggle, how can local officials easily admit to planting them? Therefore, the Qincha or the court officials will also be tricked, shirked, and fooled by all kinds of tricks.

Looking back on the deception, perfunctory, coercion and inducement suffered over the past month or so, the whole team of the special investigation team could not help but be greatly moved.

"Pack up your personal luggage and live in a different place tonight," Zhou Changfeng said, Zhou Changfeng glanced at the local officials present and the person in charge ......of the Yin Hotel, and said with a smile: "Forget it, if you don't change it, you will live here in the bright light." ”

He pointed to the front and said, "Let's go to dinner and find a big hotel." ”

Everyone left one after another, completely ignoring the simple washing and disinfection tent still on the side and the Yi'an soldiers who looked at each other.

The lieutenant knew that the water was deep, so he didn't dare to intervene from beginning to end.

Looking at those distant figures, he muttered, "Why is it the Air Force?" ”

And just like that, everything seems to have settled?

Until the end, after all, no one dared to organize a violent attack to murder the investigation team sent by the imperial court.

Compared to the usual lunch, this time the unusual lunch was more than half an hour earlier.

The famous Chenghao Hotel in Fuzhou has ushered in a large number of officials, and the clerks dare not slack off.

Although the food at Cheng Ho Hotel is quite good, and the seafood is a must, the architectural appearance is really strange - the high-rise buildings of dozens of floors have to be matched with large Chinese roofs with curved cornices.

As a result, the whole tall building seems to be buttoned with a hat, which is not very harmonious.

In contrast, the Tonghui Hotel in Beijing does not have this problem - the large-area, low-height main building with heavy eaves resting on the top of the mountain, which is both generous and magnificent.

"Come on! Let's have a drink! ”

Zhou Changfeng and Luo Fu raised their glasses to drink, making a crisp "bang" sound when clinking glasses, and then each raised their necks and drank it all.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the latter suddenly asked, "When will we return to Beijing?" These things have to be reviewed by the DPRK and China before they can be decided. ”

"Don't worry, actually... The fundamental purpose has not been achieved. Zhou Changfeng said leisurely: "They are really conservative." ”

Although the results of the investigation have been basically sorted out, this does not mean that Zhou Changfeng and his party can take their own initiative to arrest them one by one and bring them back to the capital to wait for their whereabouts.

These files will be submitted to the Criminal Department, where a temporary team will review and discuss who should be taken, who should be warned, and who should be saved.

As one of the first-tier cities of the Ming Dynasty, Fuzhou Prefecture has many officials who are inextricably linked with the capital, and in order to solve this matter within a reasonable range, it is definitely not possible to take it all in one go indiscriminately.

Especially in the current war, fooling around may cause chaos on the side first—after all, it takes time for new officials to get familiar with and take over the work after they take office.

Prior to that, Fuzhou Prefecture and even Fujian Province were in a semi-paralyzed and inefficient state of operation, which was undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to war preparations.

"Rejoice! It was a really comforting meal. ”

"You guys go back to where you're staying first, and I'll go to the naval base."

The half-drunk Luo Fu beckoned, "Okay, Brother Zhou pay attention to safety." ”

Under the escort of the paratroopers, how dare the local Xiaoxiao cause chaos?

Everyone ate this meal with great peace of mind, and their interest was very high, and they vented all the grievances and grievances accumulated over the past month.

Especially when this is still in the territory of "other people", holding the lifeblood of others on other people's territory, and then eating and drinking wantonly, it is really fast!

However, Zhou Changfeng still had something to decide, so he made a special trip to the Fuzhou Naval Base, intending to ask the emperor for instructions.

This is not an overkill – to avoid tapping on ordinary wired phones, the only way to do this is to use the Navy's encrypted line.

"Chief Zhou, please come in, the special number has been dialed for you."

The person in charge of managing the encrypted line is a kind and lovely female captain, who looks like she is in her thirties.

After dialing, she consciously exited the room, and deliberately slammed the heavy soundproof door with a little force.

"Toot-toot-toot-"

Due to the special nature of the line, the waiting time is extraordinarily long.

After a long time, Zhou Changfeng paced back and forth a few times, and finally a familiar voice came from inside.

"Rongwo (the call sign of the Fuzhou Naval Base), what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, it's me."

"Oh?" Zhu Lingjing on the other end of the phone didn't seem surprised, "To put it bluntly." ”

"I have come to the door to arrest several in a row, all of them are the kind that can't go up or down, and the others are really anxious, but they only dare to try to take away those files from the beginning, and they don't ...... any radical actions."

The nature of the murder of the Qincha or the imperial court is too bad, and the powerful guys in the local area naturally have no shortage of hearts.

After all, this is in Daming, not somewhere else. If you dare to tear your face like that, the court really dares to make an exception and implicate your relatives to make an example.

Because before leaving, the emperor had explained that it was not allowed to expand without authorization, and that other things should not be involved, so there was really no other way at the moment.

Zhu Lingjing was also a little entangled, but she had actually roughly thought about how to deal with this situation before, but she still needed to make up her mind now.

Hey, I'm afraid that it will be out of control, and it will be difficult to ride a tiger when the time comes.

At this moment, Zhu Lingjing, who was standing by the window, looked extremely hesitant, her eyes jumping back and forth, teacups, brushes, pens, seals, and books......

Eventually, her gaze rested on the portrait hanging on the wall diagonally in front of her.

In this way, after a long silence on the other side of the microphone, Zhou Changfeng, who had waited patiently for at least a minute, heard an affirmative reply.

"Customs, let the news go."

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and then he responded: "Understood! They must be forced to do it. ”

In this matter, the emperor was completely different from his original intentions.

The emperor wanted to establish a little more authority within the controllable range, so as not to be completely overwhelmed by the powerful military department after the start of the war.

And Zhou's original intention is very pure - do you want to be at ease after doing bad things? Since I'm here this time, I'll definitely pull it out for you! Otherwise, where can I fight with peace of mind after that?
